“I was on top of the world.
After I dropped ‘Holiday’ with Davido, everything changed. Back-to-back hits—‘Pana,’ ‘Duro,’ ‘Diana’—I was touring, making money, chilling with Drake and other big stars. Life was sweet.
Then, one morning, I woke up… and my voice was gone. Just like that.
I couldn’t sing. Had to cancel all my shows. I started going from doctor to doctor. I did some surgerîes in Nigeria—got better for a bit. But then they told me I had GÉRD… something that was méssing with my voice bádly.
I spent everything I had trying to fix it. Traveling from country to country. I was so bróke I had to sell some of my songs—even ones I loved—just to pay for treátment. Davido bought one and supported me. I finally went to London for sûrgery.
It worked. I got my voice back. But by the time I was ready to sing again, the industry had moved on. I had to start from scratch.
Now I’m better and still making music… but things aren’t like before. I’m not where I used to be.
It’s been a tóugh journey. But I’m still here.”
